The on-line digital portfolio assessment support system for the integrated study time of elementary and junior high schools.

As an assessment technique in the integrated study time，the portfolios devised in U.A.are expected.However，solutions of following problems are necessary in order to spread this technique to the school for Japan。·It would be able to easily carry the portfolio。·It would be able to add the image record of the activity to a learning outcome product。·It would be able to efficiently carry out the assessment.These problems can be solved，if the digital portfolios system with following program module is developed.(1)The authoring program by which the primary school child can create the multi-media document easily.(2)The on-line database management program by which the primary school child stores and can search the digital portfolios easily.(3)The entry program by which the primary school child stores and can search the digital portfolios easily。The on-line digital portfolios assessment system with the program of superscription(1)-(4)was developed on the baas of the groupware for school education。Then，the feasibility study in elementary school was done，and the system was evaluated.In addition，class practice case of the digital portfolios was collected，and the teaching manual for the teacher was made.

Then, the feasibility study in elementary school was done, and the system was evaluated. In addition, class practice case of the digital portfolios was collected, and the teaching manual for the teacher was made.
